Fair Lady

Mrs. He seemed to be angry and didn't eat much, while Mrs. Cheng ate deliciously as if nothing had happened. The sound of the mother and son sucking noodles made Shujie's brows even tighter. The three of them The way he eats is simply... not as good as the seven-year-old Tianyou.Especially Tianci, broke apart the buns one by one, ate only the stuffing inside, and then threw the bun skins on the table.

Tianen really couldn't see it, and was afraid that people like himself would be hated by the Shujie brothers and sisters, so he spoke to his half-brother once in a rare way: "Tianci, eat buns well, don't waste them, if you can't eat them, don't eat them."

Tianci rolled his eyes: "You want to take care of it? I don't want you to pay the money."

Cheng also glared at Tian En: "You are petty, you can't get on the stage! Your cousin's family is so rich, why do you care about these buns? Besides, it's okay to reward those servants to eat? What's the waste?"

Shu Jie wanted to speak, thinking that Mrs. He was too angry to eat. If he said anything else, only Mrs. He and Tian'en would be embarrassed. People like Mrs. Cheng's mother and son don't understand what embarrassment is at all.

Forget it, anyway, Mrs. He has insisted on rushing back to Yulin, and the three of Mrs. Cheng can't stay for two days.

However, Shujie still wants to persuade Mr. He that he should rest for at least two days. It will be too hard for him to return to Yulin tomorrow, so he is not at ease.

Shujie refrained from opening his mouth, but Shuwen had never been a man who could bear it: "Young servants are also human beings, and the servants in our mansion never eat such dirty and disgusting things."

Cheng was very angry that Shuwen didn't give their mother and son face so much, but she didn't dare to speak to Shuwen like she did to Tianen.I could only curl my lips and said: "You are too kind when you are young. Slaves, it would be good to have white noodles. Slaves bully the master, so you can't be too kind to the slaves, otherwise it will be against the sky sooner or later. Ah, let's do it, auntie and I Stay here to help you housekeeper, train your servants, and make sure they behave well." After talking about it, the more I talked, the more excited I became.It's a great idea to think of yourself.

Shu Jie said indifferently: "Don't dare to bother Second Aunt, after all, the surname of this house is Xia, not Zhao. Although they are relatives of our own family, they are guests when they come to the house."

"You..." Cheng choked on the spot, Shu Jie's words were too straightforward.Although Mrs. He also said that Shujie's surname was Xia not Zhao just now, Shujie said this in person.It just clearly draws the line.Even if Cheng's thick-skinned and stupid-hearted, it is impossible not to understand the meaning of the words.

Even He Shi felt a little uncomfortable. His grandson had grown up, and he was no longer the little boy who clinged to her back then, and he hadn't contacted her for another ten years...but.She also heard that Zhen's treatment of Shujie was very good, and she was afraid that people like herself would have more contact with Shujie.It made Zhen's heart unhappy, and with the distance, it was troublesome to ask someone to bring letters and things. My family moved several times in Haicheng, and gradually lost contact.

Seeing that He's eyes suddenly dimmed, Shuyao opened her mouth to reprimand Cheng and then closed it lonely, knowing that it was the elder brother's words that made the old man have a knot in his heart.But for people like Cheng, if you don't cut the mess quickly.Maybe in the next moment she will be the master of the house and teach the servants a lesson. Shuyao thinks that her elder brother is doing a good job.

Shu Yao sat beside He Shi.He smiled nonchalantly: "Grandma doesn't like this side, right? I'll ask someone to cook some porridge with green vegetables and lean meat, and simmer it on a small stove in Zhichunyuan. Grandma can eat it when she wants to eat it."

Before He could speak, Tianci stretched out his hands and took away the noodles in front of He: "Grandma, if you don't eat it, give it to me. There are many good things in this noodles, which are better than the sauerkraut noodles you made." I ate too much." After speaking, he began to turn over the bowl of noodles with chopsticks, picking out all the "ingredients" inside and stuffing them into his swollen mouth.

He sighed deeply. With his daughter-in-law and grandson like this, how could he blame Shujie?Even the maid who waits in the hall despises them in her heart, right?Their old Zhao family had never been so ashamed when they were the poorest. When her father-in-law was alive, she always taught a few children that "a person is poor and his ambition is not short".

If it wasn't already dark, Mrs. He would have insisted on going back to Yulin immediately. She couldn't afford to lose this old face, and she didn't want the Shuyao siblings, and even the servants in the summer house, to look down on their elder brother Shujie.Just now, Shuwen said that their adoptive father bought this house, but when she was on the way, she heard from Zhang Gui that the adoptive father of the three of Shujie and the wife of the Houfu were all friends of the Zhen family.

Thinking of this, He cheered up and smiled at Shuyao: "Thank you Yao'er, do you have anything to bring back to Yulin Town for that Aunt Mei? Let's have a good sleep tonight and leave tomorrow morning, grandma I'm really worried about your two uncles."

Seeing He's resolute tone, Shuyao secretly sighed that this is also a stubborn old man, so she could only comfort her first: "Grandma, please rest first, and we will discuss the matter of going back tomorrow morning. The New Year is coming soon, and you have just returned to Yulin. I don’t have time to prepare anything, so I’ll ask the housekeeper to prepare some for you. Grandma, don’t worry, let’s check the weather for the past two days and wait until the snow stops before we go.”

Shuyao said so, He couldn't hold on any longer. When they came today, they encountered this heavy snow, which was very inconvenient, but fortunately, it was almost here.It would be better to wait for the snow to stop before rushing back.

However, He felt a little more comfortable. Shuyao Shuwen was not her own grandson. To be able to treat her like this must be because the three brothers and sisters have a very good relationship. Shujie must often mention her as a grandma on weekdays, so they just Follow Shujie to get close to her.That Zhen family must also be an excellent mother, otherwise the three Shujie brothers and sisters would not have been taught so well.Since they are all good, why should I bother with those inexplicable things, my grandson still respects her as a grandmother, that's enough.

However, Shujie thought of a question. He saw Cheng's mother and son talking to Tianen like that just now, so he could imagine their usual attitude towards Tianen.Shujie himself has a stepmother who is like his own mother, but he has also seen or heard other people's stepmothers being harsh and harsh to their stepchildren. He remembered how kind Tianen's mother was to him when he was a child.

Shujie thought for a while, and asked He tentatively: "Grandma, what is Tianen doing at home now? Would you like to let him learn from the shopkeeper in our shop in the capital, and earn some money to support the family. Tianen Don't you still want to learn martial arts? Although I am a bit older now, it is still possible to learn some self-defense skills."

Tianen's eyes lit up.Looking at He Shi excitedly: "Grandma, I want to stay here. I will do my best and not cause trouble to my cousin."

What Cheng wanted to say, was stared back by He.

Naturally, Mrs. He is willing. Tianen has been in school for two years and has learned some literacy and arithmetic, but he has no talent for reading. Mrs. Cheng tells Erbao every day to say that it is a waste of training.Later, Mr. He heard from the teacher in the school that Tianen really had no potential for scientific research.just give up.At that time, the business of Zhao's restaurant was good, and Zhao Dabao often had to help people go out to sea, so He asked Tian En to help in the restaurant.

Now the family has returned to Yulin to start anew. Whether it is to start a sauerkraut shop or open a small restaurant, two sons, two daughters-in-law, and themselves are enough.The two granddaughters can help with housework.

If Tianen could stay in the capital, not only would he be able to learn skills, but he would also have a good relationship with Shujie. In the future, Shujie would help with major events such as getting married and starting a career, for the sake of himself and Tianen's mother. .

I am old.I don't know how long I can take care of this grandson, once I am not around.His useless father and unscrupulous stepmother Cheng would definitely not plan for him.

He looked into Shujie's eyes, as if he wanted to see if he was talking casually, or if he really wanted to leave Tian En: "Is it possible? Will it cause trouble to the shopkeeper? Tian En doesn't know anything."

Tianen quickly said: "I, I won't cause trouble for the shopkeeper, I can start from the simplest things, I will study hard, and I won't embarrass my cousin. I, I don't want monthly money. As long as there is a place Eat and have a place to sleep."

Shuyao laughed "Pu Chi" and said, "Why don't you need a monthly payment when you do something? But how much monthly payment you can have depends on Brother Tian En's own efforts. Grandma, don't worry, no one is born with everything. As long as brother Tianen is willing to learn, it will be fine."

Seeing the sincerity of the three of Shujie, Mrs. He was relieved: "Heaven, your cousin gave you a chance, and the rest is up to you to live up to yourself. You don't have to send back the monthly money to supplement the family, save it yourself, and then you can live up to it." You have to talk about marriage in a few years. Your mother left you a dowry, and the milk has not been touched in the past few years. Next time, I will ask someone to send it to you, and you will keep it yourself, so as not to be unclear when you get it. "

Mrs. He made up his mind to go back and divide the family. The two sons can still do business together, but the family still has to be divided, lest the Mrs. Cheng will harm the Zhao family again.Since the family was going to be separated, Tianen naturally had to take good care of the dowry left by Tianen's mother.

Cheng hated her so much that her back teeth hurt, but there was no other way. Back then, He agreed to let her in, and the request was that in the future, He would be in charge of all Tianen's affairs, and it had nothing to do with Cheng, and she could not interfere.At that time, Tian En's uncle went to Haicheng to attend the funeral to handle the funeral of his younger sister, and made written evidence of the matter. He, Zhao Erbao, and Cheng all gave their fingerprints, and Tianen's uncle and Zhao Dabao also pressed their fingerprints as witnesses. .

At this time, Tianci shouted: "I'm not going back to Yulin either, I want to stay here, the big fool can stay here to eat and drink, why should I go back?"

Seeing Shujie frowning, Xinghua hurriedly said, "I can stay and take care of my younger brother, and I won't cause trouble to my cousin."

Shuyao didn't want Shujie to say anything to misunderstand He, so she said first: "Sister Xinghua is almost 14 years old, how can she stay at someone's house? This is against the rules, and it will ruin her reputation if it spreads."

Cheng finally got the chance: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I will stay too, so there will be no problem."

Before Shuyao could speak, He snorted coldly: "It's agreed, if the snow stops tomorrow morning, we will go back to Yulin. If you mother and son don't want to go back, you can go to Haicheng to join your Cheng family. Brother Jie, we After you leave, the irrelevant people will wait for you to take a big broom and drive them out." In other words, if Mrs. Cheng doesn't return to Yulin tomorrow, she will be divorced with her children.

After He finished speaking, he had already stood up: "Brother Jie, grandma is tired, go to rest first."

Shujie hurriedly arranged for someone to take Mrs. He to Zhichunyuan. Tianen and Tianyou said goodbye to Shujie and the three of them, and hurriedly followed.

Cheng had no choice but to pull Xinghua and Tianci to follow. She didn't want to be divorced. The Cheng family was already poor, and now they had a younger brother who was addicted to gambling. They almost ran out of porridge.

……

The sky did not spare anyone, and the snow stopped early the next morning, and Cheng was so angry that he cursed the thief God. The three of them, mother and son, followed for more than ten days, did not get any benefits, and might have to separate when they returned.She didn't understand why the three brothers and sisters of Shujie didn't welcome them when they saw their mother and son for the first time. The Xia family is so rich and has a lot of servants and maidservants, so they just sent their mother and son to eat at one bite?Why just not invite them to stay?Hmph, it's all this nasty mother-in-law!I have always looked down on her.

Uncle Kui, the big housekeeper, prepared a carload of New Year's goods for the Zhao family. Fortunately, there was still time, and Xia Zhai would have time to go shopping for his own use.

The kitchen also made some pastries, sealed them in food boxes, and made snacks for He's journey.

When He went out, she was very emotional. Seeing that Shuyao and his brother didn't dislike them, she wanted to stay for a few days, and she also got close to Shujie and the other three, but she didn't expect...

But if Cheng's mother and son are left to torment, I'm afraid this relationship will be broken sooner or later.It's fine now, at least Tianen's future life will be guaranteed.Mrs. He knew very well that Tianen was simple and honest, but he was very diligent and knew what was going on. Except for Mrs. Cheng, everyone who had contact with Tianen liked this child. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
